Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable colon, or irritable bowel syndrome, is a functional digestive disorder in which the intestine becomes more sensitive and its rhythm changes, without any visible lesion. It is one of the most common chronic digestive complaints.
Common symptoms:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Bloating and inflammation
- Changes in bowel rhythm, with diarrhea, constipation, or alternating between the two
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when the discomfort is persistent, affects daily life, or is accompanied by warning signs such as weight loss or bleeding.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the one who studies digestive disorders like this one, with support from the internist or general practitioner depending on the case. If you have had digestive discomfort that comes and goes for some time, discussing it with a professional will help you understand what causes it and how to manage it.
